Two years ago...

from this moment....
I was in a hotel room with a new baby...
...trying to figure out why he might be crying...
...because I had only met him one other time...
...and I didn't know anything about him...
...or anything about 10 month olds...
...especially those that weren't familiar with my language...
...and I wasn't familiar with theirs...
...who had been raised by another mother...
...and was now my child...
...and I was already in love...
...even though I was nervous and scared...
...at this idea of an "instant family"...
...but the truth was that you had been in my heart far longer than just that moment...
...and you will be in my heart for as long as I have breath...
...and life...and even beyond that.
